We have an abiding faith IN the
denomination and reelection of
President Cleveland. But the les
son of the late elections should
teach Democrats that it will not be
a wslk.over by any means. The
approaching session Of the fiftieth
congress can make or mar the for
tunes of the Democratic party in
1888. The New York Herald has
already raised the danger-signal,
and pronounced a warning against
rash and extreme tariff legislation
a warning which We regret to learn
Mr.. Carlisle has signiied his inten-
ton to disregard. IT Mr.. Carlisle's
influence and counsels prevail then
it will require no prophetic ken to
discover that this is the last Demo.
cratic administration we shall have
for many years to come. Even the
South cannot be relied on as solid
for a iree.trade Democracy, and
New York would change front with
a suddenness that even Mr.. Cleye-
lands proverbial good luck could
not control.-PeterSburg Mder APP.

"A lack of established policy and
the conforming of party platforms
to the caprice of'the hour may for
time serve to win elections, but
must certainly eyentuate in the
disintegration and destruction Of
any party. While the democratic
party of Virginia has kept itself
temporarily in power by It's tergiv-
ersations and unparalleled politi-
cal somersaultlng, with a party
platform, so.called, that when an-
alyzed means nothing, if viewed in
the light of democratic practice,
the Republican party adhering rig
IDLY to its party policy, we'll out
lined and defined. in each succeed
ing party platform, has all the
time been making gains permanent
and material. Starting with a
handful of despised adherents, who
were charged with being enemies
to everything favorable to the
South and to southern interests,
1t to day scores its majorities in
more white counties, representing
nine tenths ofVirginia's real wealth
and development, than the demo.
traits can control, and numbers
among its rank and file thousands
Of Virginia's most loyal and pro.
gressive sons. This growth has
come largely from democratic ranks
and is most noticeable in those
sections of the State once most de-
cidedIy democratic, and has result
ed IN our opinion from the lack of
decided policy and principle on the
part of the democrats, and from
their manifest disposition to ape
and copy all that they do advocate
from Republican enunciations and
platforms. A continuance in this
course it may reasonably be infer.
ed will continue like results

A MULES SAGACITY.

The Campbell county Record re-
lates the following:
GA fine illustration Of the mules
instinct as a time-keeper was afford.
ed the other day on the Lynchburg
and Durham road. Some gentle
men watching the work in one OF
Mr.. Cordwlse & Aliens cuts near
Rustburg. They particularly adj
mired the performance Of a we'll
trained mule. AS soon as his cart
was loaded he moved off at the
word of command without a driver
towards the dump, and when the
cart was unloaded he turned and
took the empty cart back to the
cut with all the regularity OF a ma.
chine. But this time, instead Of
going back to the cut as usual, he
turned of toward the stable. One
of the hands called out, "Stop that
mule ~ Another seized him by the
bride and tried to turn him back,
but the mule protested. Some one
said at is twelve o'clock" An.
other said, ono, not yet, bring the
mule back but the mule wouldn't
come back. Just then the boss,
way down at the other end of the
cut, who had neither seen nor heard
anything Of the controversy, sang
out, "Twelye o'clock, stop work"
"Dar," said IN old negro, "dat mule
knowed better'n you'all boys"
just so, his instinct was unerring.
Clocks and watches may vary, but
that mule, never.

A SUSCEPTIBLE AND SYMPATHETIC
ILLINOIS WOMAN LAYS HER
HEART AND HER FORTUNE AT
HIS FEET.
A special from Detroit to the
New York Herald says:
Senator Jones is nothing if not
lucky. His mail this morning
brought him a letter which Illus
trates the close kinship ofsympathy
and the tender passion. 1t was
delicate missive and emitted the
faint odor of blooming vIolets. 1t
was written by a lady in Illinois.
She had heard of Senator Jones.
The story of his trouble had wru1g
her susceptible soul. His towering
intellect and marked ability had
long been objects other admiration.
Her heart went out to him in the
days OF his afflction. Then came
the evidence of that noble selfsac-
rifce Of which women alone is ca.
pable.
She did not suggest herself as
an ever.ready comforter in the
midst of the senator's trouble, but
she had a friend. This friend was
wealthy. Her abundance of this
worlds goods was amply sufficient
to smooth the pathway of the de.
posed statesman during the rest
of his allotted time. She would
be delighted if the senator would
open a correspondence with her.
There the modest suggestion ended.
But why 60 further2 The invit-
ing vista of golden opportunities
opened up was as beautiful as the
senator's cherry laugh when he
showed the epistle to your cores
pendent, CALAMITY concealing the
signature of the writer under his
classical left thumb.
